Tom Ford Lost Cherry

Curated by the Scent File Editor

What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Black cherry opens loud and almost boozy, the liquor note pushing the fruit into ripe, slightly fermented territory rather than candy sweetness. Bitter almond sharpens the heart, keeping it from going purely confectionary, while rose adds a fleeting floral softness that fades quickly. The dry-down is where it earns its price — tonka bean and sandalwood pull everything warm and skin-close, leaving a dense, resinous sweetness with real staying power and low-slung sillage that lingers for hours — Best in cold weather, date nights, anyone who wants gourmand without smelling like dessert.
